Sustainable Development Goals
Together with our business units, we prioritised the UN Sustainable Development Goals 'SDGs' that are most relevant to Origin and on which we can deliver the greatest impact. Delivering against these goals will require working with multiple partners, private and public and sharing our knowledge, skills and expertise to make lasting change.
We see the greatest opportunity for impact with:
Goal 2 (Zero Hunger);
Goal 5 (Gender Equality);
Goal 8 (Decent work and Economic Growth);
Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production);
Goal 13 (Climate Action); and
Goal 15 (Life on Land).
Supplier Code of Conduct
We are committed to operating ethically and responsibly throughout our businesses with a focus on sustainability, the environment, health and safety and the community.
Our business relationships and engagements with suppliers play a key role in contributing to the success of this commitment and we enlist our suppliers to support, embrace and adhere to the standards set out in this Code. In return, we strive to be the trusted partner of choice across our value chain, believing that relationships built on trust, integrity and shared values will be sustainable and beneficial for all.
